A growth model driven by curvature reproduces geometric features of arboreal termite nests
We present a simple three-dimensional model to describe the autonomous expansion of a substrate whose growth is driven by the local mean curvature of its surface. The model aims to reproduce the nest construction process in arboreal Nasutitermes termites, whose cooperation may similarly be mediated...
